chillfactor Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Not fished Horseshoe since the last social there .... not the most social of venues due to the size , so would probably recommend doing more than 2 nights . Give us a chance for a good Chinwag & a hopefully a bite . Always been pretty weedy & I can't see why that would of changed , so bare that in mind also .... finding presentable spots can take time , which would also point to a longer session ? Been quite a bit of change since I was last fishing there .... in regards to snag removal which has changed certain areas, so will be good to go back for a session 👍 commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did struggle to find them if I couldn’t I fished the margins to my left and right and had some success there 👍… including a 7lb ish male Tench which sadly I had on the carp rod. commonly and chillfactor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Evening gentlemen, Apart from BB & Chillfactor, I haven't heard anything from those that showed an interest. Last time (2019) it was clear getting people to pay up, turn up,the risk being conned etc. was a concern. Having looked into how best to get members involved, pay the venue directly & have 10 or more guest in somewhere suitable, Horseshoe seems a good suitable venue? It would be nice to approach the venue to confirm dates & rough numbers. So, please respond to the above, or we can be totally open to suggestions for another suitable venue? Muchos Grassyarse!

B B Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I know I won’t be attending the social but if I can suggest Linear Oxfordshire if there’s a group booking they will reserve pegs on a bank for you so not to far apart, easy parking and a shop on site Also Orchid lakes, home to the 30’s as it’s called. stunning lake and they drop your gear off at the swims which are bookable commonly and elmoputney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commonly Posted February 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I've blanked ar Linear a few times, there's some lovely fish there. BB, Do you know if they want a deposit? As others have previously told me, it's hard getting members to cough up in advance. Nothing is firmed up, so we could July/October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm still in for anything i thought horseshoe sounded a bit big and scary lol but having watched a video you don't have to be able to chuck 150 to get a bite I'm a little more comfortable with it, I'm pretty used to weed so that doesn't worry me too much, does look like a place you need to get location right though and that could be tricky with a group of us~ but I'm up for the challenge commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we say open to suggestions on dates and venue until Monday. Then try to get things confirmed???? It's always tricky trying to please lots of people. Best bet is make a decision that suits the majority and see how it pans out. You'll never please everyone. Maybe post a poll on dates and venue? Most votes after a certain time wins. Seems like that would make it fair? Anyway, thanks for organising, and getting the ball rolling. B B and commonly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
